Driving problems

In the dark ages (before Peyton) my wife was driving to work one morning.  She was stopped by a police officer on Route 128.  When she asked why she was stopped, the officer informed her that her back license plate needed to be secured by three screws, but she only had two (there is no such law).

Okay, that part is true.  Now suppose the following.  When the officer approached the car, he couldn’t help but notice that there was a headless corpse on the backseat, along with an illegal sawed-off shotgun.
Are the corpse and the shotgun admissible at trial?  Why or why not?

Written Assignments:

Prepare a three to four-page paper (a 700-1000 word essay, double-spaced) from any topic germane to Human Resource Management. Find a topic of interest to you that is grounded in ideas developed in outside readings or videos such as those at TED.com. You should try to find a topic all on your own or you can ask me. Many students find that the more freedom they are given to pursue their own interests, the more intimidated they are by this freedom, and the less certain they are of what really is interesting to them. But writing assignments with open topic options can be excellent opportunities either to explore and research issues that are already concerns for you (and which may even have been topics of earlier writing) or to examine new interests. At the very least, though, topics can be seen as occasions for making your writing relevant and meaningful to your own personal and academic concerns.
